HART: With Horse and Rider Technology (HART), your horse’s freedom under saddle is actively enhanced, as the saddle continuously flexes and conforms with their shape in motion for the ultimate comfort. Your saddle can be changed to mirror the changes in your horse as they develop over time.

With an exceptionally large footprint on your horse’s back, the close-contact felt panel and wide chamber is able to reduce the overall pressure for your horse. Shaped to gradually taper pressure on to and away from your horse’s muscles to maximise the space around their withers and shoulder. Dynamic air cushioning ensures your horse has full range of their natural movement and the low profile design helps to stabilise the saddle and position you for close and harmonious contact.

The wide chamber ensures space around your horse’s sensitive spinous processes and helps ensure clearance at all times.

Adjustable Y-Girthing system allows you to achieve an equal distribution of pressure along the length of the tree delivers tremendous stability, reducing any tendency for the rear of the saddle to lift. When adjusted for your horse, this girthing system results in an incredible reduction of white noise for the horse and accentuates clear communication between horse and rider.

The stock saddle seat is designed to provide soft, all day comfort. With a balanced seat, you are able to find your home position in the saddle whether you have a traditional stock background, or an English riding background. Super close contact, you will notice you have exceptional connection, which makes for relaxed and confident riding.

No expense has been spared in ensuring your stock saddle will stand the test of time with stainless steel stirrup bars, blevin buckles and lightweight oxbows to give extra confidence in strength and durability. Made with the finest leather in the world that achieves a beautiful grip and softness to ride in that when cared for will last through the generations.
